Key phrases: Societies that use death penalty don’t have lower crime rates than those that do. Death penalty affects economically disadvantaged people who can’t afford legal counsel. Death penalty is irreversible and unacceptable. This punishment abuses basic human rights. There should be equality among all human beings. There should be a line between what is right and what is wrong. There should be a line between imprisonment and execution.
Jeremy expresses his position against death penalty by stating these arguments.
1) Death penalty do not prevent high crime rates, and even if it does, it is by no means, acceptable.
2) Capital punishment is addressed to economically disadvantage people and therefore, it does not encourage equality of human rights. (statistically proved)
3) Not only, is death penalty irreversible but also, it results in death of innocent people.
4) Death penalty is not acceptable because it also abuses 2 fundamental human rights, which are that “everyone has the right to live” and that “no one should be tortured”.
5) Death penalty means torturing people both physically and psychologically since the offenders are forced to wait for their death.
6) Human rights belong to all human beings no matter how terrible the crime is or what terrible things a person has done. It is very important to remember that respecting those human rights differentiates what is right from what is wrong. If we, as society, crossed that line, what would be the difference between them and us?
